you wear an Elgin Watch with assur
ance that it is superbly smart in its
styling, for Elgins are acclaimed by “best dressed”
men and women everywhere. But there’s an inside
story that will excite you too, just as it did Robert
Montgomery. It’s Elgin’s exclusive DuraPower Main
spring. Here in the part that runs the watch is truly a
history-making achievement.
This miracle mainspring will never rust—and rust is
the greatest cause of breakage. It will hold its “springi
ness" for a constant accuracy never before possible in
any watch. Eliminated are 99'.*6 of all repairs due to
steel mainspring failures!
The one who is buying a watch for you will appreci
ate a hint—“an Elgin with the DuraPower symbol
‘dp’ on the dial.” It’s sure to be smartly styled.
ses Peace
Dr. Murphy announced that the
panel decided to translate the
Christmas spirit into a modern
message of ways of promoting
brotherhood among peoples of
the world.
“Pi Lambda Theta considers it
a privilege to meet and talk with
these foreign born people of State
College’’, stated Dr. Murphy.
Miss Dorothy Cornell, chair
man of the December program,

Christmas gifts for Crossnor to

Right Way or Army Way?
German Dept. Prefers Army i
The saying, “there’s the army way and there’s the right vfay,*
has a familiar denotation to most x-Gl’s but it seems as if the Ger-%
man department at the College has decided that apparently the
right way is the Army way, at least in introducing a new method
of language study to the student body.
Instead of insisting on written grammar and book German, two*
phases of language study which
assist the student relatively little
in the actual conversation of the
language, the department has
added two practical speaking
German courses to its long list.
The new courses, listed as Ger
man 102 and 304, in the College
catalogue are concentrated stud
ies employing the aural-oral ap
proach to speaking and reading
the langugae with German 304
being a Continuation of 102. Both
are six credit courses.
Conversation Strewed
Nine hours are required each
week with three hours spent on
lecture material while the other
six are spent in actual conversa
tion. Not only do students get a
thorough knowledge of the
speaking language but those who
wish to alleviate their language
requirements in the shortest pos
sible time through this extensive
course may complete their lan
guage requirements in one year.
Sections are limited so that
each student receives theproper
attention. Dr. Albert Buffington
and Dr. Dagobert leLeive, pres
ent instructors of the course, ex
pect a much larger student enroll
ment in the future, since such re
markable progress has been
shown to date.
Ten weeks ago, with the excep
tion of one student out of the class
of eight none had know any
German. Now when Dr. deLevie

Outstanding Student

major who resides in Windcrest*
He is the only member of the
class who had any previous Ger
man contacts. In fact his. contacts
were very permanent. During his
stay in Vienna, in 1946 and 1946,
he married a Viennese girl. He
states, “If anyone wants to learn
to speak German, this is the
course they should take. They
should teach all languages this
way.” ‘.
Girl Comments

in the class, says, “This is really
a marvelous opportunity to learn'
to speak German. I’m getting
more out of this than any other,
